This paper considers the production scheduling of a flexible transfer line which produces parts for multiple agricultural machinery models. The schedule must be planned so that the parts are supplied efficiently to the assembly line in the production plant. The scheduling problem in this study is divided into lot sizing and lot sequencing problems; the lot sizing problem determines the standard lot for each part type and the lot sequencing problem determines the production sequence of standard lots. When standard lots of a same kind part are sequenced in a series, the lots are merged into one production lot. In this paper, we propose an algorithm combining heuristics and SA method to solve the lot sequencing problem.
